I have a passage and a burrow.
The bird flys at the window, it doesn’t understand.
I wear a hat, the one that says “no”
Everything is loud,
red, blue, yellow—
a purple face.
A bird bumps the window,
it didn’t know.
I tell you things,
and you hear them.
I pick up the phone,
I press all the buttons,
I wait.
